Diddy's three daughters left the courtroom during male escort's testimony
As for the arrest, it happened in 1999 when Diddy was arrested following a shooting at a New York city nightclub. At the time, Diddy was accompanied by his bodyguard Anthony “Wolf”,a rapper named Jamal ‘Shyne’ Barrows and his then- girlfriend Jennifer Lopez.
As per reports, the fight started with a disagreement and ended in gunfire that left three people injured. Sean Combs and Jamal faced multiple charges. Diddy’s charges were dropped. He reached out for an out-of-court settlement with a girl names Reuben who filed $130 million lawsuit claiming that he shot her in the face.
Why was JLo arrested?
At the time of the incident, both Diddy and JLo were arrested and, as reported by The Guardian, initially charged with criminal possession of stolen property. The charges against Lopez were dropped overnight, but Sean Combs and Jamal Barrow went to trial. Diddy faced additional charges of bribery; he had allegedly offered the driver of the car $50,000 to say the gun was his.
